improvements in Stained Glass.

Designs in stained glass are madeup
by combinations OF small pieces OF
different colors. Under previous meth
DDS it was necessary to make q frame
work OF lead conforming in size and
shape to the pieces OF glass used, each
piece being fitted to the place for
which it was intended, and secured by
soldering. By this method it some
times required a couple of weeks to
finish complicated design embracing
twenty square feet. By the new proc.
ess the glass is laidin position, accord
ing to the design, leaving sufficient
space between the pieces for the intro
duction OF the molten metal which is to
fasten them together. In this condi-
tion the design is placed in suitable
clamps and the metal poured in, find
ing its way into every crevice and re-
sulting in solid piece OF workman
ship. The time usually required in
making a casting is about five min
utes, and the smallest pieces OF glass
are securely attached to the mass
without the Disagreement OF the heavy
lines seen in designs made by the old
process.

himself frequently and regularly, and
when he finds that he has gained in
weight he halls the fact as a good
omen. There are other fat men in the
House but Barnes leads the heavy.

vies his ponderous supremacy. His
popularity at home, the Tenth Dis

his matchless proportions. The con-

Pardee, in the United States circuit
court, has given Judgment for the
plaintiff in the case of the Pullman
Palace Car Company vs.. the Board OF
Assessors OF the state OF louisiana

Judge Pardee said that the company,
having no standing in this state, and
the sleeping cars having no status,

assessment upon them was not legal
and therefore the tax imposed could
not be collected.

Marvellous HOrsemanship.

A ST. Petersburg correspondent,
writing to the London Standard, says:
"This morning / witnessed wonder
full display Of horsemanship. 1t took
place in the Petroffsky Park. Here,
in the presence of the Grand Duke
Nicholas and most of the foreign Off
GERS and guests, the regiment of Cos
sack Guards went through an extraor
dlnary series of exercises which threw
the most daring feats OF the circus into
the shade. The entire regiment passed
at full gallop, in loose order, with
many of the men standing upright in
their saddles, others upon their heads
with legs IN the air, many leaplng upon
the ground and then into the saddle
again at full speed, some springing
over their horses heads and pi king up
stones from the ground, and yet re-
gaining their seat. While performing
these feats all were brandishing their
sabers and firing pistols, throwing their
carbines into the air and catching them
again, and yelling like maniacs. Some
men went past III pairs, standing with
leg on each others horses-oue wild
fellow carried OF another dressed as o
WOndH. ne cNeCb OF tie sctuG was
absolutely bewildering, and it seemed
as if the whole regiment had gone mad.
Upon a signal being given, the regi-
ment divided into two parts. One
rode off; then halted and made their
horses lie down on the ground beside
them. waiting rs in war the approach
OF the enemy. The other section of
the regiment then charged down, and
in an instant every horse was on his
feet, every rider n mis- saddle, and with
Wild yell they rode at their supposed
enemy. When the maneuvers were
over, the regiment rode past singing,
and uncommonly well together, a mill
tary chorus. Altogether, 1t was mar
velous exhibition of daring horseman-
ship. and one hardly knew whether to
admire the docility and mettle of the
steeds, or the skill and courage of the
riders. All the foreign officers and
guests were no less astonished than de-
lighted"

View Quarters for the Fedora, Courts

Judge Hughes, of the United States
Circuit Court for the Eastern district OF
Virginia, arrived in the city from
Abingdon yesterday. He will leave for
Norfolk to-day as there are no cases OF
Importance to be heard by him here at
this time.
When asked about the new quarters
for the courts the Judge said that he
supposed the matter was settled, buthe
had not seen Marshal Scott and had
not formally signed the papers,
though he had approved of the sight
before the papers were sent ~
the department at Washington. The
new quarters are to be in the Grant
building, on north Twelfth street, and
the work Of getting the building in
condition TO be occupied will begin at
once. How the offices will be arranged
has not yet been determined. This
matter having been settled beyond
doubt will enable the Danville Com
pnny to move its offices back here
from Washington at an early day.
